A costume drama or period drama is a period piece in which elaborate costumes, sets and properties are featured in order to capture the ambience of a particular era.

A lot of costume drama fandoms are television and film adaptations of novels.

Note: What constitutes inclusion on this list may vary among fans.

Other fandoms with nifty costumes:

  • Blackadder - a British sitcom; each season is set in a different historical period
  • Doctor Who - science fiction, but a lot of episodes take place in Earth's past
  • Torchwood - contemporary, but the main character dresses in period costume
